The use of digital displays and digital signage in workplaces, restaurants, bars, hotels, education classrooms and other learning environments is on the rise. Called ‘digital out of home media’ (DOOH) and it is expected to continue to grow steadily over the next few years.

While exact market numbers are difficult to come by because the various industries are fragmented, at least one audio-visual solutions industry study by InfoComm shows that the North American audiovisual market generates nearly $19 billion yearly, and is expected to show annual growth of at least nine percent over the next several years.

Where are all of these digital signage and digital displays ending up? Answer: mostly in company workplaces; hotels, bars and restaurants, and throughout educational school systems. Generally, it’s often where content and ideas are exchanged using a variety of visual and data connections. Let’s look at a range of audio-visual solutions for different applications across a range of physical locations.

This is where companies will integrate digital displays along with audio, video and control systems to create a winning technology environment to showcase company plans and win customers.

In other cases, a large company auditorium is the centerpiece for digital technology involving audio-visual solutions.

Additionally, the hub may feature other systems integration components like audio conferencing tools, broadcast camcorders and remote pan-and-tilt cameras.
